    a person holding a donut
    Shay R.

    Crescent Bakery & Cafe is a cute little cafe that has a wide selection of desserts and sandwiches. Since Frankfort is of course a small town the place gets really busy. I visited early in the morning closer to when they opened and it was still a handful of people getting serviced. When I walked past later in the day they had a line of people. I tried one of the breakfast sandwiches and ordered a few pastries. Hopefully, I don't think they place would be as popular if there wasn't small selection of places that open early. Everything was mid at best. The breakfast sandwich was beyond bland. I couldn't even finish it because it tasted like I was eating nothing. Maybe if I had salt and pepper I could've finished it. I rarely see a place that would make you choose Dunkin Donuts over them. I have been spoiled with assuming a mom and pop style place would have a higher quality of food. I only took a few bites of my pastry and gave the rest away. I left Crescent Bakery & Cafe hungry and disappointed. My

    Doughnut display (around noon)

    Great doughnuts and baked goods, plus sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. Lovely pressed tin ceiling, wonderful collection of cookie jars, and nice place to sit and people watch along the street. I got the chicken pecan sandwich, which comes on a pretzel bun. Delicious sandwich; just the right size; but $11.75. My companions had the caprese sandwich and the pesto chicken sandwich, and reported they were very tasty. Only negative: they've gone over to Coke only , no Pepsi.

    Apple fritter

    Use to love this place! What happened???? Preordered 2 apple fritters, because previously they were good. Today? Like 2 big rocks. Fritters usually have all those delicious little nubs and crannies, crusty and filled with chunks of apple. Found 1 piece of apple in only one of the fritters. And zero taste. I mean zero! So disappointing.

    Salted Caramel and Chocolate Pretzel - what a treat! The Cherry Fritter $2.25 is really tasty!

    Lunch, coffee, bread, pastries all great, try the soup! Get a Loyalty buyers card for coffee / bread too! The Cherry fritter is a must. The Batman breakfast sandwich (add avocado) is so tasty, we came so many times- great service and many selections! We like to sit at the windows at look out.

    Boston cream donut... best so far

    Fantastic sandwich and pizza option if you're headed to or from Sleeping Bear Dunes!…read more We came across Shipwreck Cafe after stopping for gas next door on the way to Sleeping Bear Dunes. We wanted a kid friendly option and came in for the pizza, but ended up being blown away by the massive sandwich menu! Don't be discouraged by the line - it moves FAST!!!! The young people at the register and in the kitchen are efficient and so nice!!! We arrived about half an hour before the sign says pizzas are ready, and the lovely man at the register said "sure!" when we asked if we could order a pizza. The menu has something for everyone - Including plenty of vegetarian options (I think they even had a vegan option). I loved my Griffon, and the meat eaters in our group enjoyed the SS Noronic (a BLT) and the Fitzgerald. Our kids devoured their cheese pizza! They also carry Great Lakes Co Chips, which are some of the best potato chips we've ever had. Our sandwiches were all so inventive with delicious, fresh ingredients, amazing condiments, and the most freshly baked "pretzel rolls" ever. If this place wasn't a vacation stop for us, we'd be back all the time! Our kiddos favorite part, bedsides the pizza, were the tiny plastic swords that came in our sandwiches holding them together. When they each wanted one more sword, we went back inside and the staff inside was so used to kids asking for more tiny swords that their response to "May we have two more swords?" Was "Sure! What colors?!" Very different from what the response would have been where we're from. :) We even came back later in the day for the frozen custard!!! All in all, it was a great experience with great food, great service, plenty of outdoor picnic tables under umbrellas, and something for everyone to eat.

My wife and i stopped in for a quick lunch. She ordered a chicken sandwich and I ordered a fish sandwich. Both were super processed, off brand, chopped meat patties that were dumped in a deep fryer for just long enough to make them hot, soggy, and floppy. My fish had plain mayo on it, and after just a couple bites we both decided we couldn't finish. What's worse is these two sandwiches were 5 dollars a piece. Chips and drinks extra. I've been coming to the frankfort area for 30 years and never have i been so disappointed with a restaurant here. Save yourself time, money, and an upset stomach by going to literally ANY other lunch spot in Frankfort, Elberta, Beulah, Benzonia, or the surrounding areas. Even the McDonald's on 31 serves better. The owners should be ashamed of themselves for serving such crap in an area that has so many top notch restaurants.

    I don't write Yelp reviews often, but this place absolutely deserves one…read more From the moment I walked in, I could tell this wasn't just another coffee shop. The space strikes that perfect balance between cozy and modern--warm lighting, comfortable seating, and just enough background music to create ambiance without making it hard to have a conversation. It feels like somewhere you can settle in with a book, meet a friend, or get a few hours of work done without feeling rushed. What truly elevated my experience, though, was the service--especially Taylor. It's rare to come across someone who is both genuinely warm and highly attentive without being intrusive. Taylor greeted me with a friendly, welcoming energy and took the time to walk me through the menu when I mentioned I wanted something comforting but slightly different from my usual order. Their recommendation and enthusiasm felt authentic, not scripted, which made a big difference. I ended up ordering the raspberry chai, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The chai itself was beautifully spiced--rich notes of cinnamon, clove, cardamom, and a subtle kick of ginger. The raspberry added a bright, slightly tart sweetness that complemented the warmth of the spices instead of overpowering them. The flavor balance was impressive; it wasn't overly sweet, and you could tell the ingredients were thoughtfully combined. It had a smooth, creamy texture and was served at the perfect temperature. Honestly, it was one of the most unique and well-crafted drinks I've had in a long time. Beyond my own experience, I noticed how attentive the staff was with other customers--checking in, remembering regulars, and maintaining a clean, welcoming space. The atmosphere feels community-oriented and intentional. You can tell this shop cares about quality, both in what they serve and how they treat people. Between the exceptional service from Taylor and a raspberry chai I'm still thinking about, this coffee shop has officially earned a spot in my regular rotation. If you're looking for a place with standout drinks and genuinely kind staff, this is it. Highly recommend.
